He’s really agreeing to sign? Since when is Aaron this easy to deal with? Emily wasn’t sure how to react—he had been acting a little unpredictable lately.

Aaron probably received the divorce petition from her lawyer yesterday. With the attached evidence of infidelity, the court would almost certainly side with her and approve the divorce. 

At this stage, Aaron only had fourteen days to respond, and his only real move would be to challenge the validity of the cheating proof.

She fully expected him to pull the same stunt—wait until the very last day just to drag it out and buy more time. She didn’t expect him to come to her this fast.

She texted back: &

  • After divorce, He regretted   Ch52 - A setup

    Aaron nodded subtly toward one of the bodyguards nearby. The man stepped forward, pulled a folder from his briefcase, and laid it out neatly on the table in front of them. Just two pages. Emily’s eyes caught the two signatures at the bottom—Aaron’s and Francie’s.Francie instantly pointed at it, his voice rising. “Exactly! You told me this was just a ten grand loan. No deadline, no pressure.”“I never said that,” Aaron replied flatly.Francie’s mouth opened, incredulous. “But you only gave me ten grand! How the hell does that suddenly become two million?”He turned to Emily, his expression pleading. “Sis, you’ve gotta believe me. I only borrowed the money to open this place. I didn’t use

  • After divorce, He regretted   Ch50 - Don’t overthink

    Emily stood behind Theo, frowning toward the doorway—only to see a refined-looking middle-aged woman frozen in place, staring back at them.Her outfit was elegant but sharp: a fitted jacket cinched with a metallic belt, a patterned maxi skirt, and high-heeled boots. Retro but stylish.And from the look on her face, she was even more stunned than they were.“Mom,” Theo said at last, exhaling as if in both relief and resignation. “You didn’t tell me you were coming.”Mom? Emily blinked. She glanced at the woman, then at Theo—same eyes, similar bone structure. So this was Mrs. Maren. The boss’s mom. Not a threat. She instinctively relaxed and stepped out from behind Theo.

  • After divorce, He regretted   Ch49 - Should’ve resigned

    At Lopez Atelier, the PR team was easily one of the busiest departments these days—right up there with marketing. A major campaign had just been put on indefinite hold, with leadership deciding it was smarter to wait out the current media storm than risk having everything turn into tabloid fodder.Everyone was running around in crisis mode, and Aaron’s mood had officially hit rock bottom. His hand clenched the document so tightly it crumpled beyond recognition, veins bulging along his knuckles, fingers trembling from the sheer force of his grip.It was a formal legal notice—delivered just three minutes ago. Bold at the top: Petition for Divorce on the Grounds of AdulteryAaron’s stomach twisted. He threw the crumpled paper to the floor.

    The team exchanged wide-eyed glances, looking more shocked than Lilian herself. What the—she just got fired?Everyone knew she'd received a warning not long ago, but immediate dismissal? That was intense. They looked around nervously, whispering among themselves.Lilian’s face flushed with shame as she noticed all the stares. She shot the group a sharp glare, and the eavesdropping crowd instantly scattered, heads down, pretending to be immersed in work. The half-finished meeting? Forgotten. The team lead was out—what meeting?Diana’s tone was firm. “You can go pack up your personal belongings now. Please don’t touch your computer. IT will take it from here.”The policy was clear: di

  • After divorce, He regretted   Ch47 - What an idiot

    “Fine. Got it.” Emily picked her phone up from the table and slid it into her pocket.Seeing her about to leave, Amelia quickly stood up, almost slapping the table, “You still haven’t told me how you plan to make Aaron divorce you.”Emily glanced at her lazily, “Relax. I don’t go back on my word.”“Words mean nothing.”“I’ve already hired a lawyer to take him to court,” Emily said, her voice flat and cold. “I’m not the type to cling to trash.”Amelia laughed, though inwardly she was sneering.Keep pretending to be tough.

  • After divorce, He regretted   Ch46 - Make a deal

    To deal with Aaron's relentless attempts to contact her, Emily decided to reach out to the divorce lawyer Theo had recommended. The woman—Harper—was a senior partner at a reputable law firm, a specialist in family law with over 15 years of experience. She was also known as the go-to lawyer for many celebrities.Over the phone, Emily explained the situation briefly. “The court already sent the official notice to both of us, but my ex-husband is clearly stalling. He still hasn’t sent back the confirmation papers. What can I do in this case?”Harper broke down her options and gave her two paths forward. Emily fell into a thoughtful silence. If this had been her a few months ago, she would’ve rejected the idea without hesitation. But now... she couldn’t help wondering—maybe she’d been too soft, too easy to walk

  • After divorce, He regretted   Ch45 - Why all around me?

    Emily roughly sorted her belongings, showered, and then collapsed onto the bed. The place was clearly well-maintained—clean, soft sheets and a mattress that supported her aching back perfectly.It was leagues better than the one in her old apartment. Normally she wouldn’t have cared much, but ever since the pregnancy, her lower back had been in constant pain. Right now, this level of comfort felt almost miraculous.Theo really is my lucky star, she thought.The next morning, she sent Bella a message. She knew Bella probably wouldn’t be in the mood to reply, and there wasn’t much she could do to help, but she still wanted Bella to know she was there for her—because Emily understood just how fast someone could hit emotional rock

  • After divorce, He regretted   Ch44 - A wise decision

    When they arrived outside her apartment building, Theo’s assistant suddenly spoke up, asking Emily to stay in the car for a moment.Before she could ask why, two burly bodyguards were seen escorting a man toward them. The assistant got out and motioned for Theo and Emily to remain inside.Theo rolled down the window and glanced out, spotting the man—clearly weighed down with professional camera equipment.Rico, the assistant, explained, “This guy followed us all the way from the office. Kept acting shady.”From the gear and context, there was no doubt about the man’s identity.Theo frowned and asked, “Which news outlet do you represent? Why were you tailing us?”
